Abstract

"This book," the author tells us in his introduction, "rests on two supports, on the thought of Husserl and on the moral philosophy of Plato and Aristotle. We will use issues from classical moral philosophy, issues such as deliberation, choice, character, and action, as a kind of magnet to draw out potentials in Husserl's thought that have not yet been actualized. At the same time we will use the superbly rigorous technique and the powerful insights found in Husserl's writing to refresh the ancient understanding of human conduct". By this point Sokolowski has already introduced the Husserlian terms 'intentionality', 'categoriality', and 'constitute', which roughly define that portion of Husserl's thought he will draw upon.
